Heavy girl? I feel worse than Black Hole Trigger!

The lights suddenly went out, leaving only a pair of vaguely agitated figures on the dim stage.

But the man's singing voice still sang in the melody like poetry.

“When I was a child, I thought I would grow up to be an outstanding adult one day.”

"Rather, I want to grow up to be a good adult and save myself."

"However, as time passes, I have become only a mottled and muddy person."

"I try my best just to live, singing every day as if I'm going to vomit—"

He was clearly a tall figure, but at this moment he was hunched over with his head lowered.

“No matter how many times I sing, I sing as if I were peeling off a scab on my body.”

He seemed to be beating his chest vigorously.

"I, a flesh and blood person,"

“…I also want to be your god.”

A knife-like sound rang out from the suppressed silence.

"How can such a song heal your festering pain?"

"Even if I hold you tightly in my arms and scream, the pain you feel won't change at all!"

"I don't really like this kind of swaying, roaring music!"

"I just want to feel a connection. But that won't save anyone."

"I feel so powerless."

I feel so powerless.

"I feel so powerless."

I feel so powerless.

"I feel so powerless."

……

In the melodious chords, in the dim light.

The hunched man seemed to be trying his best to climb out of the mud and struggled to hold on to the microphone.

The head that had long been drooping in death now looked up to the sky.

But Gao Songdeng saw it.

…In those eyes, the boundless starry sky still shone.

"I want proof that I've lived."

"I want to get someone's praise or something."

"--Things like that don't matter at all. I'm a life that's already fading anyway."

He spoke to the sky.

“I want to sing a song that can save someone.”

He spoke to the ground.

“I want to sing a song that can protect someone.”

He said to me.

"I want to sing a song that can save you."

He said to himself.

“…I can’t do that.”

"Just in your own way—"

"You can become happy on your own."

He said with a bleak smile.

"How can such a song heal your festering wounds?"

"I want to hold you tight and scream out for you, all your scars and pain."

"But at the end of the day, you're strong. You must be able to move forward on your own."

"That's enough. But if one day tears roll down your face——"

His claw-like fingers plucked the strings.

"Your pain."

Pull the strings.

"Your bitterness."

Pull the strings.

"Your weakness."

Pull the strings.

"your heart."

Pulls at the heartstrings.

"With my powerlessness"

Pulls at the heartstrings.

"With my incompetent song"

Pulls at the heartstrings.

"I'll sing this dirty song for you"

He held his head high.

"I feel so powerless."

"I feel so powerless."

He roared ferociously.

"I can't become a god."

He fixed his eyes firmly.

"I feel so powerless."

"I feel so powerless."

He looked at me deeply.

"With this feeble song,"

"I want to save you too..."

He prayed softly.

"I want to save you..."

"..."

The heavy tone will dissipate the consciousness that is hoarse in the singing.

The cold melody will wipe out the wishes blurred in the breeze.

But that heartstring that was plucked, that starry sky that was lit up.

In this powerless song. In this sorrowful cry.

In the tattered pieces of paper that floated down in the melody, the starry night, the spring rain, and the breeze.

“——————.”

The girl looked up quietly in the long night.

The dazzling starlight has turned into a brilliant Milky Way without anyone noticing.

In this sunless night, it gently illuminates her whole being.

……

"I really want to be human."

From that sentence that cut through the long night.

From that encounter across countless light years.

Start from the very beginning.

You have already become my god.

Lost Star Chapter 96 Summer Time Record: Chapter Changes

After all, the CRYCHIC team didn't stay in the exhibition hall until the end.

Shiina Riki was a little upset about the fact that she bought an all-day ticket but only listened for half an hour, but after Takamatsu Deng apologized and said he was not feeling well, she left with everyone else.

After exiting the auditorium and closing the heavy soundproof door, completely isolating herself from the clamor of the audience, Shiina Riki was momentarily stunned. She didn't know if it was the fresh air that made her feel a little relieved after being suffocated by the crowd, but the regret she had felt a moment before for leaving early was gone.

After the Lost Band left the stage, she actually had no interest in the girl band that took the stage right after them.

RiNG is a live house specifically for girl bands, but they came to see a man's concert - it's funny just thinking about it.

At Su Shi's suggestion, they went to a cafe, ordered a few drinks, and sat down to rest.

RiNG's cafe is on the second floor. Su Shi took everyone to sit by the window. Just by tilting their heads, they could see the bright sunshine and the bustling streets outside through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

For more than two months, Lixi's life has been almost a routine of "home, school, and nascita". Today, she rarely came to RiNG's cafe, but she felt quite uncomfortable: she ordered a cup of mocha coffee, which tasted like ice cubes melted into the coffee, diluting the flavor, leaving only a faint bitterness. After a few sips, she didn't want to touch it again.

"Xiao Lixi, what's wrong? Are you worried?"

"Just daydreaming for a while." Li Xi said casually, not even wanting to turn around and look at her.

Anyway, this woman must have a look on her face as if she was laughing at a joke.

Just listening to Su Shi's words and tone, you would think she was a gentle girl who was good at reading people's expressions and caring about those around her... Well, in fact, she was! But every time he saw that expression that seemed to say "You must attack the taunting follower first", Li Xi knew that he would never be able to show her even a little bit of frankness.

"is it?"

Su Shi seemed to be in a good mood today and didn't continue to try to tease Li Xi about her reaction. Like Li Xi, she tilted her head to look out the window, her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed, a smile that resembled relaxation.

"RiNG has a really nice view. Even though it's in the commercial district of Ikebukuro, it doesn't feel crowded from here."

Li Xi snorted softly, "How about we gather here from now on?"

Su Shi couldn't help laughing and glanced at Li Xi. She was trying to keep a straight face and look out the window, but the sudden increase in the frequency of her blinking suggested that Li Xi was actually a little proud of her retort. So Su Shi closed her palms, deliberately said "ah" a few times, and said: "It's a little far for us. Don't you think so, Xiao Mu?"

“…….” What does it have to do with me?

Ruoye Mu glanced at Su Shi's smile dimly, then simply picked up the cup, bit the straw, closed his eyes and pretended to be savoring the juice in his hand, silently shouting, "I didn't hear you!"

Deng put down the porcelain cup in his hand, blinked, raised his head, and leaned forward slightly, "I think Nascita is better too!"

Su Shi nodded in agreement and said, "After all, Xiao Deng's family lives behind the Moon Forest."

While it takes a while to walk from the Sentosei Bridge to the cafe, Nascita is much more convenient than Takamatsu Touma's own journey from home to RiNG, where she would have to take the tram to Sunshine City and then walk a considerable distance from Higashi-Ikebukuro to the Ikebukuro central business district.

"Hmm? Hmm, hmm." Deng first looked at Su Shi's expression blankly, then nodded slowly.

Oh. What Su Shi said makes sense.

On a holiday afternoon, perhaps because all the visitors had gone into the performance hall to enjoy the performance, although the first floor was still very lively, the cafe on the second floor seemed quite quiet. Apart from them, there were only one or two groups of guests sitting sparsely in different corners chatting.

Li Xi looked around and said thoughtfully, "I'll come to RiNG to apply for a part-time job later."

Judging from the cafe's current operations, it's clear they're not yet so busy they need to hire, but with the annual increase in customers during the "Big Girl Band Era," they wouldn't turn down an extra hand. Being able to bask in the music she loves while earning a little extra cash would be the perfect work environment for Shiina Riki.

"Huh? Li Xi is short of money?" Su Shi covered his mouth in surprise.

At first, he thought she was trying to mock him secretly again. Li Xi turned his head, but only saw a worried look on her face.

Li Xi curled his lips, looked her straight in the eyes and said, "If we continue to hold LIVEs... I'll have to pay for the venue application fees and song copyright fees, right? I don't want to owe you every time."
